Hehehe... Oblivion is quite an old game so it doesnt take much at all to run it. for $1000, you can build a computer that will run ANY modern game.

JDV28 is absoluty correct i have oblivion and i mod it and stuff it really doesnt take a big graphics chip. and btw happy new year

i used to get decent framerates on my dual core athlon and 9400gt. so for 1000 dollars you wont have an issue.

I would think you'd struggle to power 3 monitors over USB (power ie bandwidth).

If you want 4 monitors, your best bet is 2 graphics cards in a PC.

If you want it run as one large display you want to be looking at eyefinity, in particular eyefinity6

 

[welshmousepk]

which, btw, isn't available right now. especially not in a laptop.

im sure alienware will soon be offering a crossfire 5 series latop though. that will run 6 monitors as one display. and once alienware does it, it wont be long before real manufacturers follow suit.

i agree with mi1ez. you would need two gfx cards (sli or crossfire) to do that. and thats on a desktop, no idea about laptop though. i dont see why you would use 4 monitors on a laptop..
